    Cannot close or select tabs in Chrome

    I have a Lenovo TB-X103F tablet. It’s a couple of years old but has just started having a problem in Chrome.

    If I play a video such as on Dailymotion or Vimeo I can not then close or leave that tab.

    To do so I have to close the app and then go back in.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled updates on Chrome.

    It’s been doing this for around a week and is pretty inconvenient

    Thanks
    James

          Hi, can you have extensions with Chrome on Android?

                  Do you mean apps other than Chrome?

                  Yes I tried Firefox today and I was fine

                  I also did a factory reset which seemed to work initially but then the problem came back

                              What other apps would you suggest?

                              I already tried Firefox

                                  Got to the Google Play Store and install the Dailymotion or Vimeo apps.

                                      Oh I see what you mean

                                      I have the Dailymotion app. A lot of the videos I watch there are opened from links on YouTube and they take me to the in-browser site. I’m not sure I can set it to go to the app instead

                                      The Vimeo app on Play isn’t compatible with my machine

                                      And unfortunately a lot of the videos I watch are on other channels which don’t seem to have an app

                                      Thanks
